242. The decomposition of N₂O₅ in CCl₄ at 318 K has been studied by monitoring the concentration of N₂O₅ in the solution. Initially the concentration of N₂O₅ is 2.33 M and after 184 minutes, it is reduced to 2.08 M. The reaction takes place according to the equation:

2 N_{2} O_{5} (g) \to 4 {NO}_{2} (g) + O_{2} (g)

Calculate the average rate of this reaction in terms of hours, minutes and seconds. What is the rate of production of NO₂ during this period?

248. The gas phase decomposition of acetaldehyde
CH₃CHO(g) → CH₄(g) + CO(g)
at 680 K is observed to follow the rate expression
$rate = \frac{- d [{CH}_{3} CHO]}{dt} = k {[{CH}_{3} CHO]}^{1 / 2}$
If the rate of the decomposition is followed by monitoring the partial pressure of the acetaldehyde, we can express the rate as
$\frac{{dp}_{{CH}_{3} CHO}}{dt} = k {[p_{{CH}_{3} CHO}]}^{3 / 2}$
If the pressure is measured in atmosphere and time in minutes then
(i) What are the units of the rate of reaction?
(ii) What are the units of rate constant k?

The gas phase decomposition of acetaldehyde

CH₃CHO(g) → CH₄(g) + CO(g)

at 680 K is observed to follow the rate expression
$rate = \frac{- d [{CH}_{3} CHO]}{dt} = k {[{CH}_{3} CHO]}^{1 / 2}$

Thus,

(i) Units of rate of reaction =
$\frac{atmosphere}{minutes} = atm \min^{- 1}$

(ii)
$Units of k = \frac{units of rate}{(units of p_{{CH}_{3} CH})^{3 / 2}} = \frac{atm \min^{- 1}}{atm^{3 / 2}} = \frac{\min^{- 1}}{{atm}^{1 / 2}} = {atm}^{- 1 / 2} \min^{- 1} = {bar}^{- 1 / 2} \min^{- 1} .$
